Crazy Go Lucky
Crazy Go Lucky is a super cool company run by Michael De Jesus, from Union City, California. There's an array of awesome characters like a zombified, bloody mouthed panda and an awesome robot (robots ARE a nerd's best friend) and a cool new positive message tee "believe in your dreams no matter how crazy they may seem". There's also cute shoes by Zazzle and sticker packs so you can show off your love.
Awesomesauce. Check it all out here.
Ninjatown Zipper Charms
We are all going to have to start wearing clothes with way more zippers- between the 64 Colors Marshall zipper charms and these new Ninjatown ones by Shawnimals, zippers are getting a whole lot cuter!
Miss Van Video & New Print Release!
I love watching this video of Miss Van painting. Oh, how I wish walls could be stolen...
I also have to mention that Miss Van has released a very limited print of one of her original poupees pieces... and it's one of my favorites! These are for sale in her Princesas Market shop.
Nate Duval's Etsy Shop
There's so much hand-printed goodness in Nate Duval's Etsy shop! There's gig posters (for bands like Flight of the Conchords, Iron and Wine, and Monsters of Folk), tees for kids and adults, and lovely prints of houses and boats. I love the illustrations and color palettes!

Alexandros Vasmoulakis : Is Everybody Happy?
Stellar new work by Alexandros Vasmoulakis for his new show, "Is Everybody Happy?" opening this weekend at LeBasse Projects.
From the Press Release:
LeBasse Projects is excited to present, 'Is Everybody Happy?,' the first US solo exhibition from Greek artist Alexandros Vasmoulakis. In this anticipated solo project, Vasmoulakis brings his first major body of work to the US after becoming recognized across Europe for his work both on the streets and in galleries.
Vasmoulakis is mostly known by his work in the streets of Athens, Greece as he has painted on and embellished various buildings across the city and is expected to do the same here in Los Angeles. While recognized for his street work, Vasmoulakis' paintings are beginning to reflect the maturity of his work as an artist.
His works' main theme is the psychology of his figures - the struggle and the element of conflict dominates in the pairs of his figures as well as in each character separately. With the perceptive analysis of his characters Vasmoulakis achieves through his work he persuades us that he has penetrated into their mentality by holding a role of a competent and gifted anatomist and of an expressive soul searcher.
'Is Everybody Happy' will be Vasmoulakis' first US solo exhibition.
